Yes the later minor's had racks bolted to a crossbeam on the bulkhead, just under the battery tray.
I will be doing a few things to try and help the old beasts center of gravity. I will be sitting quite low down in the car and anything that can be moved to the floor and to the middle of the car will be (i.e. battery, fuel cell). And one of the reasons I chose the Porsche engine is because it is a slant 4 that sits quite low in the engine bay. The top of the engine certainly isn't any higher than the std minor lump. I would imagine the transmission being at the rear of the car should help balance things out a little too, but we'll just have to see when it's done. It can't be any less stable at speed than my Plymouth, that wallows all over the place
